The October number of the Can- adian Grocer has a very interesting write' -up of the W. T. O'Neil .groc eiee, especially the groceteria department, and a photograph of the same. It also publishes a photographic repro- duction of, `one of the O'Neil adver- tisements in The News -Record. Com- menting on the features of this bus- iness the Grocer says: "There are also other merchandizing . methods used by the W. T. O'Neil store, that are worth a paragraph here. One of them is the advertising mg that ap- pears pears in one of the local newspapers and, similar to many of the innova- tions, is in charge of.

The -union Thanksgiving service held in 'Willis church on Monday forenoon was fairlywell, attended,. but, considering that it was a union Thanksgiving and,; Memorial service for five congregations, the attend- ance left somethingto be desired. The church • l would easily h av e held'. as many more as; it contained. The service itself was an impres- sive one. 'A union choir led in the singing, Mrs. McMurehie presiding at the organ. The minister of the church, the Rev. al E. Hogg, had. charge,, the Rev. A. A. ITolmes read the lesson, the ReV. Ernst Parker led in prayer and, the Rev. C. L. Gilkey preached' the sermon. The ,preacher „:took for his • text the Ovoids found in Psa.,116:17.. "There is something majestic^and sublime -in the idea of a day of, national thanksgiving.' said the, speaker.' "There are of course thou-, sands of people in Canada today who will be,touehed by no: feeling of grat- itude ,to -the Giver of all. But there are also thoasamis who will. see in this day not only an cpportnility for festivity and nierey•xnalting but what it was intended to be, a day on which the people of Canada render thanks to God' for all the benefits they have received at his hands, and it is these people as a class who constitute the blain and muscle of the land; they are the nation -builders, the men and women upon whom .depends the fut- ure progress of our great Dominion" The preacher thought of Canada as being in a fortunate state. "We have not yet reached the flood -tide of na-. tional.,prosperity," he said, "and it is well we have not. Just as the hard struggle against adverse eircum- -stances brings out the grit in a young man and makes bine strong en- ough to stand upon his own feet, so Canada, as a young nation is be- ing trained and fitted to use aright the great material wealth which will some day be hers." "But not only, is this a day of na- tional ,7hanks. +rxn g • mit only is it a 8 day of family reunions: Tt is also a day, on which we delight to honor the, me city r,f the heroic (lead, who laid doom their lives in the Grc.'r, War. We' thank God, not on17 for the priceless gift of peace which they :Cryo beuoeathed to us; no': only foethe: hope of universal peace which •t he i r eecor ifices has r s,: iidlcd within the breasts of men; ante most rfnil ,because of - what they themselves stand for, for, the; principles of noble character which they manifested to the world. Armistice ,lay has been fittingly called an nnmattel anniver- sary fer,sulely,the weaning and sig- nificance of that day will live forever in the inoniory ofmankind, We thank God, i,oe, for ,the inspiration which they have given us for .service to the living. - How often dueine the war did we hear that the world could nev- er be „the same again.' 'What we meant was not, that there would be no more greed and selfishness in the world, but that the law, of the jungle, 'the , simple plan that they should take who have the power, and' they shoulli keep who ' ' can,' would more and more give place to the ideal of human brotherhood. The author of that immortal poem, `In Flancler's Field,' represents the dead as throwing down the torch' of. er- c• vi e which by,, their sacrifice . they have lighted, to' be'talcen up and put into use by the living: 'If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In, Flander's fields: "But" over, and above, all ether causes of gratitude is the- fact that we are called to the adoption of sons through the blood of the everlasting covenant in Christ Jesus."
